Rosa, Found Rose, Climbing Rose 'Peggy Martin'

Hi Gardeners, I was given a beautiful Peggy Martin climbing rose a couple of years ago as a gift. The rose is climbing on an idyllic whi...Read Morete fence in front of my home in St. Augustine Beach. Unfortunately, despite fertilizing as directed with rose fertilizer, the plant doesn't yield many roses, although it has grown quite a bit over the past two years. The plant faces south and gets plenty of sun (perhaps too much?). Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated.

In its Zone 7a, full sun location this rose is:
Repeat blooming
Not fragrant
Extremely vigorous
Is moderately...Read More impacted by diseases. (I don't know what, the leaves look like they have been burned and then they crumble away.) But, given the vigor, this is not an issue

This rose took 3 seasons to produce a good spring flush. This is its fifth year year, now, and it has given me a great spring flush and some rebloom (a few clusters here and there) all season. It does have some (small) thorns, but is one of the least thorny "thornless" roses in my yard. It is definitely a spreader, not for small spaces.

Our Peggy Martin roses are thriving in Houston, TX and in La Grange, TX. Although only 100 miles apart, the humidity differs greatly, and...Read More frequently, so does the rainfall. These roses really took off in the second year in both locations. A+!

I'm a novice-level rose grower in Ormond Beach, Florida and have a three year old Peggy Martin climber (purchased online / mail order fro...Read Morem Antique Rose Emporium.) This thing is growing so well this year I need to learn how to train it up on an arbor or post. It is mingling through the giant Macho ferns.
I neglected it all last summer through the Central Florida heat and provided little additional water (no sprinkler here). What a plant! This spring it is sending out new plants near the main plant - it is sprawling about eight feet out along the ground, and sending up new plants almost like ground cover.
There weren't a lot of flowers after the spring blitz last year, but like I said, I left it alone with no fertilizer and minimal water.
Let's see what it will do with some fertilizer and attention!
